Hi folks,
Was doing the rounds of the usual diy store suspects at the weekend looking at worktops and it got me thinking about worktop joints....
Now for a long time I was thinking of doing the butt and scribe joint which seems to make sense on a worktop with a rounded front edge....
However the worktops I am looking at have square front edges and I noticed in places like Wickes / B&Q they had literally just butted them up to each other at right angles with straight edges.
Is this just a lazy way to do it because they are only display kitchens, or is this a suitable way to join such worktops?
Are there any pros (apart from being a lot easier) or cons to using this method as opposed to the butt and scribe method?
(Hope I explained everything ok).
